The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is deliberating the proposed removal of
nearly all Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the
Lower 48 states, with the possible exception of the Mexican gray wolf. This delisting would be a conservation nightmare.
Delisting
would turn wolf management decisions over to the states, and we've
already seen what can happen when federal protections for wolves are
eliminated. Montana, Wyoming and Idaho — all states where wolves have
been delisted — have become free-fire zones. More than 1,000 wolves have died from hunting and trapping
in the Northern Rockies since Congress and the Fish and Wildlife
Service stripped gray wolves of their Endangered Species Act protection.
Please stop this blood bath NOW! Wildlife Services are supposed to protect our wildlife, not destroy it. Four million killed in a single year is outrageous. The states that now 'manage' their wolf populations are wantonly killing their wolves. It has to stop now.
